Exhibition Images explore how Coding can Impact Architectural Representation #ArtTuesday
Via ArchDaily:
The Cooper Union is to host a new exhibition showcasing the impact of technology on architectural drawing. “Drawing Codes: Experimental Protocols of Architectural Representation: Volume II” will examine how “emerging design and production technologies impact the ways in which architects engage with traditional practices of architectural drawing and how rules inform the ways the built environment is documented, analyzed, represented, and designed.”
The exhibition will feature 24 experimental drawings by firms such as Aranda\Lasch, Höweler + Yoon, and Outpost Office. The artists were challenged by the curators to consider at least one concept that expands on the notion of “code” in design and representation. A strict set of rules was enforced, including black and white media, and limiting the drawing to two dimensions.
The exhibition imagines coding as constraint and restriction which can intensify the search for new opportunities in representation, rather than hinder them. The contents therefore imagine how drawings might engage with latent meaning and hidden messages, and how drawings may adopt open-ended processes with no defined outcome.
